The ConsultDecisionone seat owns the answerSimulated

You ask

Do we go enterprise this year, or stay self-serve?

CThe CEO — Chief executive
owns the answer

The CEO

Chief executive · The one bet, the hard trade-off, the call.

Verdict

Stay self-serve through Q2 — enterprise flips on a tripwire, not a mood.

Why

Your growth is product-led and your win rate says so — a sales motion now buys pipeline you can’t staff.

The tripwire

Two inbound deals past $30k in one quarter reopens this memo — written down now, so the flip is a plan, not a panic.

CThe CEO — Chief executive

Sharpest dissent — The CEO, against their own call

If a logo you passed on signs with a competitor, this caution cost more than the sales hire would have. The day that happens, this memo is wrong.

You ask

Should I raise my price from $49 to $79 before Q4 — or wait for the annual plan to ship?

The CFO asks: Current churn and margin?The CFO asks: When does the annual plan land?
1CThe CFO — Financial controller

The CFO

Financial controller · Unit economics, pricing floors, runway math.

Verdict

Raise in October — new customers only. Grandfather every existing account for 12 months, and announce the reason the same day you ship the annual plan.

2The call

New signups at $79 from Oct 1; existing stay at $49 through next year.

Why

Your margin clears the churn you’ll take — and a grandfather clause converts the raise into loyalty.

The floor

If trial-to-paid drops >20% in 30 days, hold at $64 — decided now, not in a panic.

3CThe CFO — Financial controller

Sharpest dissent — The CFO, against their own call

And the grandfather clause is a year of revenue I can’t get back. If churn holds under 3% on the new price, I was too cautious — and we’ll know that by November.

03 · The Answer Shapes

Eleven shapes. Built to fit.

You bring the question. The router reads what you’re actually asking and builds the deliverable to match — the shape gates the whole answer, not just its formatting.

DecisionCThe CEO — Chief executiveThe CEO

“Do I take the acquihire, or keep going?”

Keep going — but write down now the number and the date that would change the answer.

ComparisonAThe Analyst — Data analystThe Analyst

“Linear, Notion, or Jira for a 12-person team?”

Linear for the build, Notion stays for the docs — Jira only if compliance overrules you.

ForecastCThe CFO — Financial controllerThe CFO

“Where is MRR in 12 months?”

$5,405 base by month twelve — churn alone brackets it $4,648 to $6,001. That’s the lever.

↓ live below — drag it

DiagnosisOThe Operator — Operations chiefThe Operator

“Why does every release slip by a week?”

It isn’t estimation — it’s the review queue. Two reviewers hold four-fifths of your merges.

PlanSThe Strategist — Strategic plannerThe Strategist

“I’m leaving my career — what do I do first?”

The 90-day bridge: sell the ugly version to 10 strangers before you resign.

StepsLThe Lawyer — Legal advisorThe Lawyer

“The city rejected my permit. Now what?”

Reapply, don’t appeal — fix the two cited items, refile with a mapping memo.

ResearchVThe Visionary — Future strategistThe Visionary

“Will our category still have a free tier in three years?”

Three of the five comparables have quietly repriced “free” into a usage cap — none killed it outright.

IdeasMThe Marketer — Brand builderThe Marketer

“Ten ways to launch with a $0 budget?”

Idea one: borrow audiences — ten newsletter swaps before you post once. All ten ranked; three earn your week.

AnalysisDThe Data Scientist — AI/ML specialistThe Data Scientist

“What does our churn data actually say?”

Your sample is too small for the story you’re telling — two more weeks changes that.

The readPThe PM — Product managerThe PM

“Should I take the partnership meeting?”

No. It’s a vendor pitch wearing a partnership deck — ask for their pricing page and the call ends itself.

Written pieceEThe Empath — People advocateThe Empath

“Write the message telling my co-founder I’m buying him out.”

“I want to buy your half — not because it broke, but because only one of us is still all-in.” Ready to send.

Asked, answered honestly.

It’s a different job. A chat gives you prose from one model that agrees easily and forgets you. Here a named expert takes a position (with a Skeptic seated against it), the answer arrives as a deliverable — plan, forecast, decision — with sources and the model named, and your world carries into every next session.

1 credit = $0.01 USD. A consult typically runs 5–40 credits and a full board 55–150 (live 60-day percentiles), so the free 150/month covers real work — and every session shows its cost before you run it.

The frontier set — OpenAI GPT-5, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, with Perplexity Sonar grounding live-web research. Different experts run on different models (that’s the point: rival labs argue), and every answer names the model it ran on.

Yes — with your approval, never without it. The board proposes a write, you preview exactly what it will do, and only then does it execute — with a receipt linking the created resource and a 30-second undo on every reversible write. A risky write gets held a second time, with a seated Skeptic’s objection quoted in front of it. Creating real Notion pages, plans and databases is live today; more write surfaces open as they’re proven.

It becomes your World Model — a page you can read, correct line by line, or wipe. Connected tools are read with permission, every write needs your approval, and undo holds for 30 seconds.

Yes — and it’s built to say so. Conviction is capped at 90 by design, unverifiable claims are logged as such, and dissent stays on the page. Confidence theater is the failure mode we optimized against.
